Thanks, Elizabeth, for these links. They’re always so useful! There’s another reminder this time about podcasting! I think it’s a Sign or something. I keep thinking about it and wondering whether it might be for me. People do like them, and they can be really good ways to reach out to readers and others. I’m not there yet, but I am thinking about it.
You would be the perfect podcaster, Margot! Considering you’ve been a DJ, this is ideal for you.
I always appreciate your list
